valuable collection, numbering more
than 10000 objects, illustrating the habits
and accomplishments of prehistoric man in
western Europe, was opened to public ex-
hibitiOn at the Smithsonian Institution,
Washington, last week. These were gath
cred during five years residence abroad
by Mr.. Thomas Wilson, xUnted States
consul at Nice. and his wife They have
been so arranged as to illustrate the gradu-
al progression of the race from the begin
ming of the palaolithic epoch of archaeology
(the quarternary of geology down to and
through the bronze age TO its merging with
the iron, just preceding the dawn of pre-
historic time.
The series begins with the Clipped stone
elements of the creatures who, during per
haps 60 or 20 centuries roamed over all
that portion of the continent then above
water and not covered with ice. The jaw
bones of these people lack the fixtures, so
TO speak, to which in modern humanity the
tongue muscles are attached and this leads
to the presumption that they did not pos
sess the power of speech. However that
may be, the shape Of their skulls indicates
that they could have had nothing of i'm
poTtance to say.
The dawn of the glacial period drove
them to the caves, where during a residence
of some centuries they invented clothes,
This is proved by the existence in great
numbers of stone scrapers used in prepar
ing the hides Of their quadrupedal contem-
poraries, From Clipped stone they have
advanced to ground or polished stone and
thence to implements of bone Now came
the dawn of art, and their finest bone inn
pements were engraved with pictures of
the horse, reindeer and bear.
The collections of pottery and bronze of
a much later period are curious and extern
sive. OF bronze there are barbed fish hooks,
exactly like those Of today long pins with
globular beads as large as walnuts, the
counterparts of the implements used 10y
modern ladies to keep the hat in place and
finally, there are safety pins, used by Etrus-
can maidens long before the advent OF
Romulus and Remus, which contain in the
germ every principle of that most useful
article known to the modern nursery,

The widow Of the late Ebenezer Carpen-
ter has been visiting her daughter Mrs. G.
5. Whitney of this place. She is So years
old and is hale and hearty can get out of
her chair and walk about the house as
sprightly as young lady. There is some
thing quite remarkable connected with her
life She has had nine children, six of
whom are living, 10 grandchildren and 2l
great grandchildren. She was born in
Marlboro and lived there until after she
was married, and then removed to Dover
on the farm where she now lives. She has
lived there over 60 years When they first
went TO Dover the farm was almost a will
derness. They soon went to work clearing
it up and Mr.. Carpenter built log house !;
and then he put up two framed houses.
They lived together almost CT years Mrs
Carpenter has never rode on the cars, al
though she was in BrattleboTo the day they
first came to that place. She was asked if
She would like to ride on the cars, and re
piled mo would rather be on my feet "
She is the last of a large family, is loved
and respected by all who know her, and We
hope she may live to see her centennial
year.
The people on North street had quite IA
scare last Tuesday, some running from the
fields, others leaving their houses, thinking
there must be an earthquake but their
nerves were soon quieted when they found
that the cause of their fright was the fall
ing of the floor and whole broadside of the
ell attached to the house occupied by Mrs.
Buhcock, with tremendous crash, throw
ing the debris in all directions. We are
glad to learn that no one was injured ex-
cept a pet dog, which got two of his legs
badly cut,

II can look back in the past when Mr., Har-

the town. When we got into the woods a
little north of the road that turns to the
east, he says to me There, on the east
side of the road, the first meeting house
frame was raised but never finished l
can remember graves and stones TO mark
the place" Your correspondent was pass
ing through those woods last fall and came
across the graves of which she speaks. As
near as he could ascertain there were
eleven graves, all marked with rough
stones, one stone being lettered in rough
manner, "Eunice Scott, 1867" The graves
are about one mile north Of the Centre, in
a wood lot owned 10y Geo M. Scott. As
the writer did not then know of the old
church of course he did not notice any
building spot,
